Four people have died after one of the victims made soup out of a mushroom that contained deadly toxins. This unfortunate incident emphasises that it is very important that anyone collecting wild mushrooms must be familiar with what dangerous mushrooms are likely to look like & where they grow.
This US government advice page is useful and so is this UK resource but different countries may have other species of harmful mushrooms or certain types may be more common in some areas of the world - always check local information.
